A randomised study of air quality in primary schools in Milan has revealed that adding air purifiers to classrooms not only reduced children's exposure to air pollution but actually increased students' concentration and overall school attendance, reducing the expenses associated with absentees.
Jacopo Bonan is Associate Professor of Economics at the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of Milan and one of the key figures behind this study. He shares his research with Susie Ferguson.

New Zealand's air quality improving, but winter smoke still an issue
Smoke from wood burners and coal fires builds up in calm, cold conditions. Photo: Dave Allen / NIWA CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Air quality is improving across many parts of the country, but the use of fires as heating creates a spike in pollutants during winter. Air pollution has detrimental health impacts, with older adults, children, and other vulnerable groups most at risk. Dr Chris Daughney, chief science advisor for the collective of regional and unitary councils, Te Uru Kahika, said there was generally a spike in pollutants during winter, as smoke from wood burners and coal fires built up in calm, cold conditions, and affected the health of whole communities. However, the LAWA data showed improvements overall, with air quality trends improving for 30 of the 44 long-term PM10 monitoring sites over the past 10, and only 4 sites seeing a decline. But when it came to guidelines for smaller particles, most places exceeded international guidelines. Particulate matter is tiny airborne particles - naturally occurring like dust, pollen or sea salt, or human-made through the burning of fuels - and their health impact depends on particle size. PM10 refers to particles less than 10 micrometres in size which can enter human airways. PM2.5 refers to finer particles, less than 2.5 micrometres in size, which can penetrate deep into human lungs, even the bloodstream. LAWA chairperson Dr Tim Davie explained it was not yet mandatory to monitor PM2.5 under the National Environmental Standards for Air Quality (NES-AQ), and the science on its effects was relatively recent. But 13 regions were already actively monitoring it anyway, and the number of monitored sites had increased in recent years. Davie said the overall improvement in air quality was thanks to individuals making good decisions about how they heated their homes or travelled around their cities. "It's not councils investing, it's people investing - buying low emissions wood burners and changing their heating to electric and buying electric cars. "Councils set policies around that that encourages it, but it's actual people out there who are making those investments and making the changes, and that's really great to see." Thirty of 44 monitored towns and cities show improving air quality over the past ten years - between 2015 and 2024. Ten sites had an indeterminate trend, which meant there was not enough statistical certainty to determine if air quality had been improving or degrading. Howeever, in 2024, only three monitoring sites met both the daily and annual World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines for PM2.5 - Whareroa Marae in Mount Maunganui, Whangārei, and central Wellington. The highest PM2.5 annual average concentrations were seen in Tokoroa, Pūtāruru, Kaiapoi, and Timaru, where winter woodsmoke from home heating was trapped by local topography and weather conditions. LAWA air quality science lead Teresa Aberkane explained air quality responded to human behaviour. "Many places like Timaru, Tokoroa, and Kaiapoi have taken active steps to reduce winter emissions, and we're seeing those actions reflected in the data." * It's important to note not everywhere is monitored, and these levels include industrial and rural activities as well as natural sources (such as salt spray) in addition to particles caused by home heating. The 10 most polluted, in order (Most polluted) Washdyke, Canterbury Mount Maunganui (Totara St Rail Crossing), Bay of Plenty Awatoto, Hawke's Bay Gore (Main Street), Southland Penrose, Auckland Gisborne central Tokoroa, Waikato Putaruru, Waikato Mount Maunganui (Ranch Rd), Bay of Plenty Timaru (Anzac Square), Canterbury The 10 least polluted Rotorua (Edmund), Bay of Plenty Lower Hutt (Birch Lane), Wellington Wainuiomata (Bowling Club), Wellington Thames, Waikato Patumahoe, Auckland Morrinsville, Waikato Tauranga (Otumoetai), Bay of Plenty Upper Hutt (Savage Park), Wellington Taumarunui, King Country (Least polluted) Reefton (school), West Coast

New Zealand not prepared for another pandemic
As winter approaches, so do the germs, and Dr Amanda Kvalsvig wants schools to clean classroom air for children. Photo: Luke Pilkinton-Ching The quality of air inside school classrooms is so poor that winter bugs quickly spread from children to their families and communities, contributing to cases of Covid-19, asthma and other illnesses at hospital emergency departments, an epidemiologist with a background in paediatrics says. Teachers are also being struck down, according to Dr Amanda Kvalsvig, who told Saturday Morning more cases of long Covid are cropping up, rendering them unable to work. It comes as health authorities brace for what is thought to be a new, more infectious subvariant of Covid following a surge in detections. Kvalsvig is a member of advocacy group Aotearoa Covid Action, which is currently petitioning to make changes to air quality in schools in an effort to control the spread of Covid-19, which it claims there is no longer a "credible plan" for. "It's as if the infections in schools is like, setting off a train of dominoes that there's this wave right through the community every winter." She said it was as if New Zealand was being tested for how well-prepared it was for the next pandemic, and "every winter we fail that test". "What that means is... [if the next pandemic] gets through our borders without our knowing it, unless we're very lucky, it's going to go straight through the schools. "And we know that because that's what happens every winter with all the other viruses; flu, Covid, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) and the rest." It was a situation that needed turning around, Kvalsvig said. "If we make the air in schools safe... every classroom we do that is another building block in our pandemic preparedness." She said people had been burned out by the pandemic, and with "pandemic amnesia" setting in, air filters that were introduced at some schools in 2022 were not always remembered or switched on. "People are just so over it. They don't want to think about it even though in fact Covid is very much still with us and all those other viruses - people can't bring themselves to really think about it and address it." Kvalsvig wanted to "completely turn this situation on its head" and make school "one of the safest places a child can be". "That the air in school classrooms is clean and fresh, it's protecting them from infections, it's helping them to stay alert and learning. It's also protecting them from air pollution, which damages children's lungs and brains." Ventilation was needed to bring fresh air into the classroom and filtration cleaned the air, Kvalsvig said. Other layers of protection included staying home when sick, and using a specific UV light to kill viruses, which would be "as simple as switching a light on". It was not as simple as just opening a window, she said. Kvalsvig told RNZ presenter Susie Ferguson she was surprised New Zealand was not doing more about the issue because a 2022 government study showed teachers were at the top of professions at risk from Covid-19. "I was sorry to see that no action came out of that big study." She said there was a need for a Covid strategy to co-ordinate against it and the illnesses it can trigger. Asked whether it would be safe for under 18-year-olds to have a vaccine booster, Kvalsvig said it was "absolutely clear" in research done on millions of children and young people that it would be beneficial to their health. In the United States this week Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr said the country would no longer offer Covid-19 vaccines to children and pregnant women . Meanwhile, Kvalsvig was also the lead researcher of Co-Search, a Covid-19 research collaborative led by Professor Michael Baker, as well as SYMBIOTIC, a programme that aimed to investigate the two-way relationships between infectious disease and long-term conditions. She said there was a social justice element to Covid-19 - marginalised people, those with underlying conditions and also people who had had Covid already were at risk of developing new conditions. "Pandemics tend to cast these very long shadows of ill-health in populations, so long after the emergency phase has passed, that shadow persists."
